- the capacitances of the parasitic capacitors 48, 58 and 68 are the same.
- the status signal input circuit 40, the set signal input circuit 50, and the reset signal input circuit 60 have the same characteristics.

Due to the switching operation of the transistor 34, current associated with the surge voltage flows from the line at the potential Vs through the diodes 45, 55 and 65 to the sources 49, 59 and 69. The current is represented by the product of the time variation (dv / dt) of the surge voltage and the capacitances (C) of the parasitic capacitors 48, 58 and 68. The current can cause a voltage drop in the resistance elements 42, 52 and 62.
- LERdrrn, resdrn and setdrn which are output signals of the drains 47, 57 and 67 can be at a low level. That is, the same situation can occur as when high-level LER, reset, and set are input to the transistors 46, 56, and 66, respectively. This is noise due to the surge voltage. The noise causes a malfunction of the drive circuit 100.
- the status signal input circuit 40, the set signal input circuit 50, and the reset signal input circuit 60 have the same characteristics. Therefore, noise is applied in the same manner in the state signal input circuit 40, the set signal input circuit 50, and the reset signal input circuit 60. Thereby, when noise occurs in the level shift circuit 70, the noise can be determined in a malfunction protection circuit 90 described later.
